Song of the Week – Hael’s Song
I know almost nothing about this song. I found it in the old An Tir Songbook but there is no author listed. Searching the web, I can only pull up an old, now deleted reference from Scribd, that lists the first couple of lines. Hopefully, someone can give me some additional information about the song. I would be happy to post the author’s name or, depending on their wishes, remove the post if that is their preference.
I have the song listed in my “Drinking Songs” section. It has the rollicking tempo that fits with the group and the ending seems pretty sotted. I suppose the title may be some reference to “Waes Hael” or “Be of good health”/”Be hale.”

Well, I had a really good time at Fools War. Rumor is I was called in court by the king of Meridies. I wasn’t there of course, I seldom attend Trimarian Courts and couldn’t imagine that I would get called in a court out-of-kingdom. Oh well, I hope they’re not too upset though I think the king steps down next weekend. Hopefully I’m off the hook. =) I’m not sure when I might next attend an event in Meridies but I will keep you posted.
I think my next event is Gathering of the Clans, then maybe the event in Oldenfeld. See you there!
